We "bought" a camper for sabbatical 2024 summer and took it for it's first outing to the Palmer Gulch KOA over Memorial Day weekend for a B family reunion.
Finally all set up.
Playing The Game of Life with the cousins as soon as they were let inside.
Enjoying the sun with Terry's family.
The weather was not great. It rained all week and the first night there. It was chilly but the kids insisted on swimming...sort of. Evie is growing out of it but the boys and cousins wanted to swim.
That first evening we had to use the propane heater b/c it rained and was so cold. The next morning the reunion was over and we were on our own. Here we're headed out for adventure.
That afternoon we went on a drive around the campground in the back of an old firetruck.
Then Evie tie-dyed a shirt. I thought it was funny that every employee was "helping" her. The campground was pretty empty that weekend.
Meanwhile the boys drove these peddle go-carts for a half hour. We had to pay for them and it was expensive but they had a fun time.
I had pre-made a tater-tot casserole and baked it in the little oven. It took forever but it was worth it. It was delicious and so fun to eat a good meal while camping.
We played a ton of mini-golf. I always lost and Ezra usually won.
We also played a lot of basketball. The kids learned a lot. We had so much fun that weekend! Terry even mentioned the next weekend in his sermon before sabbatical how nice it was to leave everything behind and just focus on each other with no distractions. Exactly. Sabbatical posts next!
